I should have done this before spamming the list, but at least I can provide a solution.

With debugging enabled, I saw the problem child is the VirtualBox network module (vboxnetflt.ko).  I
set both enable_vboxdrv and enable_vboxnetflt to NO in loader.conf, and I was able to boot just
fine.

Sorry for the noise - hope this helps someone else out.
